    Salmon Seafood - Jerk
    Asia W.

    My experience with Mingles was not the greatest. I called in an order on a Friday night for Jerk Salmon, rice and peas, and steamed vegetables. I was told they were out of rice and peas and opted for white rice instead. I get to the restaurant to pay for my order and as I'm waiting I watched the woman pack 2 full containers of rice and peas for another guest. Strike #1. It says on the website that salmon is cooked fresh but I watched the chef take the precooked salmon and place it on the grill for ~3 minutes before boxing it up. Strike #2. I get home to realize there's no steamed vegetables in my box, just a piece of salmon on a bed of rice. Strike #3. I was never told they were out of steamed vegetables or offered another option. Overall I am disappointed in my experience and probably won't be back. ALSO! They promote a $5 off your first order when you download the app yet there is no coupon code and I did not receive an email or anything after signing up. I called to ask how they honor the $5 off and no one working there knew anything about the promotion and said it's through management, who wasn't in at the time.

    The North Bronx has some of the most amazing Caribbean culinary dives the City has to offer. I have always been a huge fan of any recipe with jerk seasoning whether it's chicken, pork, salmon, shrimp or pasta. One signature menu item and bestseller was the Irie Pasta with Jerk Chicken which is exactly what I ordered... with extra jerk sauce!!!! I may have confused it with Rasta Pasta at first but it's very different; and still just as delicious. For dessert, the red velvet cake...great choice. To stay hydrated, pink lemonade and iced tea...yes, I mean mix them. Super refreshing! I shall be back!!!!

    I had a great time at Mingles Lounge one Thursday night at karaoke. I ordered wings and the fried whiting. My aunt got the oxtails. The food was delicious. The fish are small whole whiting. I've never had whiting like that. It was so good I had to come by the take out spot before leaving town. Brought my sister with me. The location is clean and modern. The service was friendly as well. Nothing extra but definitely better than most places in New York. We both ordered the fish. She also ordered the oxtails. I was so disappointed with the fish...Now I've been raving about this crispy fish to my husband, my sister and my mom. I think when you take it to go something happens. There are peppers on top so the juice from the peppers along with the closure of the paper simulates a steaming effect.....the fish was soggy. If I had not had it previously I would have given 2 stars. But because I know how good this fish is I only took one star off. There should be a sign up urging people to eat the fish immediately. Now I know. I will return and I will be eating right there.

    The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff along with the chef are producing quality food. At least ones a week I'm in here getting lunch. My favorite Uriel pasta with grilled shrimp

    Sweet and Sour Shrimp Rice and Peas

    The food was great. The wait was rather long , very long , butttttt the food was good . The serving size took me two-three days (or I may just have a small intake). The ambiance in the restaurant is beautiful , modern , and quite sheek. For my plate of sweet and sour shrimp and rice an peas there were artificial pineapples ( my guess, dole) , this tell them to lay off the artificial pineapples , please .

    2/16 FIRST VISIT: My boyfriend and I came to Heritage Bar on…read moreFebruary 16 around 2:45 PM. It was pretty quiet since it was early on a Monday. I was deciding between the turkey salad and the Chicken Salad Ciabatta from the lunch specials and asked our server how the chicken salad was, She said it was her favorite and that it was a lot of people's go-to, so I decided to order that. Our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Heritage Nachos, Loaded Tater Tot Skillet, Philly Cheesesteak, and the Chicken Salad Ciabatta. The nachos weren't really for me (I didn't love the type of chips used), but the tots were good and my boyfriend liked his cheesesteak. I absolutely loved the chicken salad sandwich and fries. I get a little fixated on foods I like, so I had honestly been craving that sandwich ever since. 3/14 SECOND VISIT: I decided to come back on March 14 specifically hoping to order the chicken salad sandwich again. It was much busier due to St. Patrick's weekend,I was alone, I was seated in a booth in the back. I was given the dinner menu, so I asked the server about the chicken salad sandwich I had previously ordered. She didn't recognize the sandwich but offered to ask the kitchen after I showed her a photo and the menu from my previous visit. Unfortunately she came back and said they couldn't make it. She suggested a grilled chicken sandwich, but I declined since I'm not really a fan of grilled chicken. I ended up ordering the turkey sandwich and asked for a few modifications (no stuffing or cranberry mayo, just regular mayo on a ciabatta). When the food came out, I immediately knew it wasn't turkey. I waited until the server came back and asked her to confirm what meat was on the sandwich. She initially told me it was turkey. After taking it apart & having a few bites I knew it wasn't turkey. I winded up eating the fries and asking for the bill. I decided to show her the inside of the sandwich again and asked her to double check with the kitchen, she returned and confirmed it was actually ham, even though the ticket showed that she ordered turkey. She did offer to remake the sandwich, but it would have taken another 10-15 minutes and at that point I was already over it. I ended up just paying, and leaving. I completely understand that menus change and servers can't memorize every item. I just wish the sandwich had been confirmed with the kitchen sooner when I questioned it the first time. Overall, my first visit was great, and that chicken salad sandwich was honestly amazing. I just wish the second visit had gone a little smoother.

    Where to begin? Our appetizers never arrived, and when the main courses were brought out, we had to…read morepoint out that we were still waiting for them. To make matters worse, one person in our group didn't receive his meal until everyone else had already finished eating. The owner stopped by and casually explained that this "sometimes happens on busy days," and offered us drinks for the inconvenience--but we were still charged for them at the end. When we brought this up to our server, she claimed she wasn't aware of the offer, and we ended up paying full price for everything. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience, with very poor customer service.

A fun atmosphere,…read moreexcellent food, and beverages. there's a Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu as well as seasonal specials. That doesn't happen very often anymore where you can go "home".. It made an otherwise somber occasion a little less sad. 2/28/26. We had a family memorial luncheon, originally reserved for 16 people, it soon became 20 people. Rory Dolan was very gracious and accommodating, rearranging tables to accommodate the group. We had a section in the upper dining area to ourselves. There's an extensive adult beverage menu, with of dozens of beers on tap and on ice, wines, and liquors. See photos. The food menu had the expected Irish fare; shepherds pie, salmon, corned beef, and cabbage, etc. There were some Italian inspired appetizers and mains, even Korean flavors. Everyone ordered whatever they wanted off the regular menu. Service was impeccable, the restaurant has an inviting ambience. I noticed there were a lot of "regulars" there this particular afternoon. It's still a pretty cool "watering hall". They have live music on the weekends and they also sponsor local event events.

They have a spacious bar and restaurant area, that is conveniently located on McLean Ave. It is a lively space but the decor and dark wood make it seem more like a historic location. I came here for a work event and order the chicken tender and fries. It came out very quickly, even though the bar and restaurant was packed. My food was hot and fresh. I would definitely order this again. Can't wait to stop back in.

Very reasonably priced for such great tasting food. Every person at my party of 110 people were raving about the great food and service.

I grabbed a tin of Shepard's pie for $7 (they had a hot option, but I wanted it for work the next day). It was quite tasty and a very good size for the price. In addition to the prepackaged reheatables and salads, they also have a hot food bar where you can get a fresh plate--small around $9, large around $12. It was post-Thanksgiving and they had roast turkey and sides--pretty decent as well--again, good portion for the price--I might have been a little turkeyed out at that point, though. They also have a sampling of sweets and pastries and a coffee/tea bar up front. A couple of stools if you want to eat in, but really seems best suited for grabbing something hearty and, well--not unhealthy, at any rate--for lunch or dinner when you don't have time to cook.
